John Oliver discusses how misinformation spreads among immigrant diaspora communities, how little some platforms have done to stop it, and, most importantly, how to have a very good morning.

I feel like john advocating for essentially censorship shows liberals have no argument.
ReplyMy uncle was a conspiracy theorist, until he died from COVID.
Reply“die as po rah” I had never seen “immigrant” pronounced like that
ReplyI’m Honduran, I can tell you the amount of misinformation that you find in Facebook is ridiculous and don’t even get me started on WhatsApp forwards, there’s so many messages from people claiming to be doctors telling you things like “drinking hot water kills the virus”… My grandmother sends me at least a dozen of those every day… It’s so bad that when my mom first told me there was a virus going around back at the start of it the first thing I asked her was “is that true or is it something you read on Facebook/WhatsApp?”
ReplyAlso you can use Facebook without internet here, if you turn on data even if you don’t have any you can access a free version that just doesn’t show you images
My dad’s friends forwarded a video of Donald Trump punching a guy who is alleged to be the governor of Mexico (dafuq?). Being an ex-WWE fan, I realized it was Vince Mcmahon (also a buddy of Trump). I sent him the full context, which he forwarded to his group. I realized if I hadn’t fact checked that message, a group of highly experienced doctors would have genuinely thought the US President was punching a Mexican official. John’s misinformation critique barely scratches the surface.
ReplyRight now there are quite a few discussions going on about Thailand’s teenagers on TikTok who are refusing the COVID vaccines.
One one hand it’s disturbing that our comments are using western Antivaxxer’s talking points. But on the other hand, our government have suddenly switched vaccines to the useless Sinovac without telling people before, and there are people whispering that the government is manipulating numbers with quite a few slip-ups noticed.
ReplyMisinformation will not be solved by less information.
ReplyNatural Selection at workโฆ. I say let it do its job. The world is obviously over populated. Weed out the gullible and easily manipulated.
ReplyYo, John Oliver, ever thought of buying ad time on FoxNews?
ReplyI believed because of you John that Hydroxychloroquine was like shooting bleach when it is also highly effective. I was completely against anything Trump like but when you see FDA blatantly lieing about Ivermectin knowing good and god damn well that its one of the safest medicines worldwide and cheapest. Not only are they politically biased but obviously the side they represent is shrouded in conspiracy. If u can’t even ponder this virus being created you probably not much for critical thinking.
ReplyThe people of the world were much smarter before the internet came along. Since the internet came along people are only interested in soaking up nastiness. Our children are being taught by internet. When the internet goes down, their education disappears along with it. It’s all left on the internet. Nothing sticks to the brain, because nothing was ever really learned.
ReplyWe don’t need to stop saying stupid shit, we need to stop doing stupid shit in response to the stupid shit that we are saying…I’m high obviously
ReplyGenerally FOX news. Why FOX news? Many missionaries coming to Africa are white Conservative Americans who just copy paste their perspective of America and the world to local people. So after digesting hours of FOX garbage on YouTube, guess what is regurgitated on WhatsApp groups in terms of forwarded messages and “prayer points” . Nothing was as annoying as trying to discuss Trump with a well educated preacher who believes that he was a God fearing man under attack from secular world and China
ReplyIts not misinformation. It one side pushing to have control so they can push what they call the truth.
ReplyHow does john oliver ignore the misinformation of mainstream media fox cnn msnbc ect when doing a story like this one?? Cherrypicking??
ReplyDidn’t Fauci tell us all to not wear masks. Do you remember idiots? Maybe we should ban him. No we shouldn’t free speech is more important than misinformation. Grow up Jon.
ReplyLet me get it straight…. WhatsApp should check all groups – Private and Public – for Misleading information. A service so very close to letters and telephone calls should be clawled through to punish all those, who do not believe in the govermental accepted standard.
Letยดs just ignore all those private concerns I see, giving some persons access to so much of personal information, pictures and data, just discussing a controvertial point might get punished? There is a difference between Youtube, a highly public accessable media and WhatsApp. And if someone is so stupid to believe everything a random stranger posted on a whatsapp Group; well, then there is nothing you can do about it except maybe start a campaign to educate your citizen from other political backgrounds!
Pushing the blame to Facebook or WhatsApp will not work.
ReplyThis is some disgusting authoritarianism
ReplyThis is great! Now can you provide this video in any non-English language?
